Concept

Sound words identify a sound by the way it is produced or commonly heard. Bells are conventionally described with words such as chime, jingle, and ring.

Application

Chime, jingle, and ring each name a sound that a bell can make. Dang is ordinarily an interjection expressing annoyance or surprise, not a conventional bell-sound word.

Contrast

  • Chime: a clear, musical sound made by a bell.

  • Jingle: a light succession of ringing sounds, often made by small bells.

  • Ring: the resonant sound produced when a bell vibrates.

  • Dang: an exclamation used to express annoyance or surprise.

Therefore, the word not associated with a bell’s sound is “Dang”.
